Elements Of Hygiene And Public Health A Textbook For Students And Practitioners Of Medicine (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt From Elements Of Hygiene And Public Health A Textbook For Students And Practitioners Of Medicine The Medical Practitioner Has A Place So Very Definite In The Public Health Scheme Of Disease Prevention And Health Pre Servation That It Has For Long Been A Matter Of Wonder To Me That Greater Efforts Have Not Been Made By Teachers And Writers To Help Him To Fill That Place. It Was Because I Had These Feelings, And Because I Thought That Possibly It Might Be Of Some Assistance If A Book Designed Particularly For His Use, Both In His Student Days And After He Began Practice Were Provided, That I Accepted The Invitation Of The Publishers To Undertake The Preparation Of This Volume. Except That Its Plan Differs To Some Extent From That Generally Adopted In Other Textbooks On Public Health, And The View-Point Is Not Quite The Same As That Taken By The Authors Of The Majority Of The Well-Known Books On The Subject, There Is Nothing Particularly Original In The Contents Of That Now Submitted.
